    Great day!

    6 Hour Trip (in shore)2 adults

    We had an awesome 6-hour fishing trip in Puerto Vallarta! From start to finish, the crew was friendly, professional, and made sure we had a great time on the water. We ended up catching a bunch of skipjack, which kept things exciting the whole trip. What really stood out was that they let us do our own casting instead of just handing us the rod after a hookup—made it way more fun and hands-on. The crew was super helpful without being overbearing, always ready with tips but still letting us enjoy the experience ourselves. The boat was clean, the gear worked great, and everything felt well-organized. If you’re looking for a fun, laid-back fishing trip where you actually get involved (and catch fish), I’d definitely recommend these guys. Would 100% book again next time we’re in Puerto Vallarta.

    Fun Day

    4 Hour Trip4 adults

    We had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Chema! 🎣 and the Carrillo Team. From start to finish, the experience was fun, relaxed, and well organized. Captain Chema was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone on board had a great time. He knew exactly where to go and helped us land some great catches! The boat was comfortable, the views were beautiful, and the whole trip felt like a perfect day on the water. Highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Chema if you’re looking for a memorable fishing adventure!

    Another fun and flexible trip

    4 Hour Trip4 adults

    Had a fun no pressure trip again with Captain Chema. It was a split trip with the girls wanting to see whales and the guys wanting to catch some fish. Checked all the boxes here and even had freah ceviche from one of the fish we caught! Great Team here and highly recommend. we did a short trip due to other commitments but I highly recommend the 8hr or more trip!

    Big Pacific Sailfish caught!!

    8 Hour Trip (off shore)4 adults

    Chema and Gabriel were great. The six of us had a fun time out on the water. Chema was very knowledgeable about deep sea fishing and knew were the hot fishing spots were. Gabriel the deck hand was a hard worker and ensured everything went smoothly and that we were taken care of. On our trip we caught a very large Pacific Sailfish! What a great experience! Chema and Gabriel were very accommodating and it was a wonderful experience to spend our day fishing in Puerto Vallarta with them. Thank you!

What's biting with Carrillo fishig Team in Puerto Vallarta

With Striped Marlin joining the other behemoths being caught offshore, this is the best month for deep sea fishing in Puerto Vallarta. Add Tuna and Dorado to the mix, and you can't get better than this.
